"Elite Building and Design did a great job on our deck as well as an addition of a gym and spa in our basement area. The attention to detail, craftsmanship and integrity of their work is unmatched in the industry today! Old school work ethic and values, with modern solutions and innovation. Extremely talented, high end carpentry and building. Our home definitely stands out from the rest! Highly recommend!"

"We have been using Gary Basten Construction for a number of years now for projects around the house and at church. They are my “go-to” contractors for any project, large or small. In fact, I don’t even bother getting other bids as I know that theirs will be fair and honest. Matt always comes out to discuss the project, offering ideas to either enhance the project, or ways of saving money…and estimates are always free. Their crews have been extremely professional, and my wife loves the fact that they clean up after themselves! I have gone with “discount” contractors in the past…you know…the ones who do contract work on the side…and have been disappointed with the quality. With Gary Basten Construction, I never have to worry about whether the job will get done right or on time…and best of all…they stand behind their work!"

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.

Handypeople usually don’t hold trade licenses, so they typically aren’t qualified to tackle projects involving installing or making alterations to plumbing or electrical lines. Below are some jobs that a handyperson usually won’t be able to complete:

  • Installing plumbing for a new kitchen or bathroom

  • Replacing plumbing pipes

  • Installing or repairing septic systems

  • Running new electrical wiring

  • Installing a subpanel

The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits. 

There are energy-efficient options when building a cottage. Select green building materials, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows when designing your cottage. Options such as solar panels, efficient HVAC systems, and LED lighting can lower your utility bills and reduce your environmental impact. Many builders offer energy-efficient upgrades as part of the design process.

How long it takes to build a log cabin depends on a variety of factors, including its size and design, and whether or not you have to clear the land. Construction can take a few weeks for a prefab log cabin on an established site, but up to eight or nine months for a custom cabin on undeveloped land. In comparison, the timeline to build a house is typically four to 12 months.
